Porsche Extends Range of Mid-Engined
Sports Cars

More Power for Exclusive Boxster
and Cayman Models
Stuttgart - Introducing two new
models, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, are rounding off
their range of dynamic mid-engined sports cars at the top. The
two new models, the Porsche Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2
and the Cayman S Sport, develop 303 bhp (223 kW) from 3.4 litres,
eight horsepower more than the respective S models.
Both new models come with a wide
range of exclusive equipment highlighted by the particularly
striking design of the car and will be available at the
dealership as of early September.
With the Cayman S Porsche Design
Edition 1 and the Boxster RS 60 Spyder special series now
completely sold out, Porsche are entering the market with new
special models based on the prize-winning Boxster S and Cayman
S.

Only a few weeks ago, Porsche’s
roadster model won first prize in the readers’ choice of the
German motor magazine “sport auto” in its class of the most
sporting convertibles up to Euro 80,000. And in a representative
customer enquiry by US market research institute J.D. Power, the
Porsche Boxster also came
first in its category as the best model. |

The Boxster S Porsche Design
Edition 2 now sets new standards, the production colour Carrara
White, for a long time one of the highlights in Porsche’s colour
range, now receiving additional emphasis in the new Boxster: The
star-spoke rims on the 19-inch SportDesign wheels featured as
standard, the side air intakes, the centre console and the dials
on the three round instruments are also finished in white.
Sporting grey stripes extending lengthwise along the body
accentuate the brilliant white finish of the car in the same
sophisticated style as the red rear lights.
A unique accessory coming with the
car is likewise an homage to the white rev counter and
speedometer: The Porsche Design Edition 2 Chronograph men’s
wristwatch from the Dashboard Collection features a white face
and was developed especially for this very special Boxster.
